So guys your favorite band is Beatles so as mine but what went wrong according to you. Why did The Beatles(The greatest band in the history) break up. Was it Yoko Ono? or the Time had come? or The death of Brian Epstein? or As George Harrison says he was not getting his due in the band? What do you think was the reason of the Apocalypse in the history of Music?

It was a long and complex process with many factors. Definitely, Paul's announcement in April 1970 (and his subsequent action in suing the other three in December that year) was a crucial factor but it was only the public indication that the Beatles were no longer the Beatles but a collection of individuals who might or might not have worked together in the future. I see Yoko and Linda as symptoms of the break up rather than as causes and George's dissatisfaction with the way that John and Paul treated his musical talent was certainly a factor. The Beatles never really enjoyed the publicity and lack of privacy and the security issues made them feel very nervous at times. I think, too, that their breakup was really due to each of them 'growing up', discovering their individuality (some would say 'egotism') and just going their separate ways.

Yes as I said earlier it was number of factors which led to the worst day in music. Agreed on Yoko Ono and Linda part. Yeah if you see George Harrison in D.Cavett's show, He clearly says that he only allowed him 1-2 songs per album and at that rate he won't be able to make justice to him and his songs. 100 percent right.It was when they matured and were used to getting success and fame they said why not to go solo, Its human nature after all.

all of the above? Probably had more to do with John and Paul not seeing eye to eye on many things, including Yoko...

I think the "Fool on the Hill" might be the main reason just listen to that song and understand meaning what he intended to say "the sun is going down" "they are all fools"....I mean common songs are not the reason for breakups, but ideologies of each other. They were successful as a group, but individually they were better human beings....that "fool on the hill" example is for humor...never mind it...:)
